David Bohm, the great physicist, proposed an “Implicate Order”
the undivided oneness/wholeness of all things:
“All things are internally related, which fits well with
quantum entanglement/non-locality/ spooky action at a distance”
A basic principle of quantum theology: God/the Divine
is creative energy, which includes and transcends
all traditional theology/everything previously said about God
Buddhists get their creative energy/peace/wisdom/joy/bliss
from practicing mindfulness and their joy has the power
to transform others
We are not transformed by sitting in a pew for an hour
once a week and listening to a sermon –
people learn any faith by hands-on training
as a novice/apprentice/journeyman/master
And Jesus, of course, was a master –
“Jesus inherited his father’s carpentry business
he was a master of the spirituality of business
and therefore was of the middle class, not poor –
out of compassion he became an outcast by choice”
– Albert Nolan
We normally begin the journey towards wholeness
by becoming baptized as an infant – by becoming an outcast
of godless society but part of the Beloved Community, the Church
“God can divinize us through baptism” – Gregory of Nazianzus
We can become part of the Implicate Order
the Universal Beloved Community
by experiencing God’s grace through all the “sacraments”
through all the “visible signs of God’s invisible love and grace”
which are constantly all around us
and through realizing our oneness with
God/others/nature
All we have to do is
wake up from our godless society’s
godless slumber.
